Do not Think Twice about the same Thing!!!


The major loss in this age of Multi-tasking, Information Overload & Internet tyranny is the chain of our thoughts. We switch tasks so often that we are pushed to the limit of attention deficit disorder. Consequently, we start thinking over and over again on the same issue leading to loss of productivity. Yes..In contrary to popular opinion, Multi-tasking definitely leads to loss of productivity !!!

So What is the  alternative when we are forced to multi-task?
The solution is to track the chain of thoughts from where we left...And to do that the best way is to record the Views/Ideas/Thoughts as a running notes in a notebook. You may wonder how the Pen & Paper could become a solution to this complex problem of Multi-tasking.

The simple Pen & Paper acts as a memory dump and helps us to regain the chain of thoughts.This helps us to continue our thought process from where we left rather than to going through the same thoughts all over again. You could try the experiment for a day and fell the difference for yourself. Take a Paper and pocket notebook everywhere you go just for tomorrow. As soon as you hit upon a problem/idea/thought, make sure to record it in the notebook briefly. The next time you think about the same issue don’t worry ...be rest assured that it is already recorded and you can continue to focus on the current task on hand.If yoy strike upon a new idea record it in the notebook.

At the end of the day you can go over the notebook and see for yourself the array of potential solutions /thoughts/ideas. It would be refreshing for you as well because you are plugging the mental energy leak by avoiding to think about the same issue twice.
